properties,tools tab, and in the error checking section,
click check now.Automatically fix file system errors
check box, is the same thing you had with scan
disk....Good luck.

I have two computers running Windows XP home and am not
able to run the scan disk option on one. It says it must
shut down, to continue would harm your computer.Help

There is no Scandisk program for XP. Use Chkdsk instead.

Edmund, go to the Hard Drive Manufacturer's site and download a
diagnostic utility to check the drive.

find scan disk on XP Home. Where is the diagnostic tool
located?

Look for Disk Error Checking. "Scandisk" is so 90's.

P.S. You can also open a command window (Start\Run and enter "cmd") and use
"chkdsk". (Enter "chkdsk /?" at the command prompt for help.)
